1956 F-100/250 Rocker Panels

I am looking for a good replacement rocker panel for 56 Ford 250. On my f-100, I used a set of USA made rockers from Mid Fifty. At the moment, they only have the china made replacements, but I hate using anything made in China. Mid Fifty says the USA ones are on order, but I have had my truck in the air now waiting on rockers for two weeks.

Does anyone have a good source for good quality USA 56 F-100/250 Rocker Panels? Im looking for the entire panel replacements, not patches.

One side is in but waiting on the other side.. The guy who is making them needs to revisit his dedication to made in USA. My truck has been in the air two months now. Still waiting for the right one to be shipped to Mid Fifty so I can get a pair. I guess some USA made parts cant keep up with China. I like made in USA, but this is getting redicilious.

Most of the made in USA panels come from Dennis Carpenter. Going to their website it says they have them in stock.

I do not doubt that even the "Made in the USA" parts are stamped from imported recycled steel plate.
